According to the representative of Snes-FSU 64, Renaud Robert, the trigger was the attack on December 2 of a teacher “hit several times by a student in crisis. He had been identified at the start of the school year as having to be educated in a specialized establishment. But due to lack of space, he found himself in an ordinary class, without any particular support,” says the trade unionist. “The Departmental House for Disabled People (MDPH) positioned itself from the start of the school year so that this teenager would be placed in a medical-educational institute, with medical staff, educators and a flexible schedule. He attacked his teacher who wanted to protect the other students. What happened was inevitable. Today, this student was excluded. But where is he? Is he again in an ordinary establishment without support? For this child, what violence and what injustice! », Explains a teacher from Clermont, on strike this Tuesday.
The tragedy of Saint-Jean-de-Luz in memory
A few days before the holidays, teachers mobilized to demand additional resources for better inclusion of students. In a press release, the collective of teachers and other staff of the Clermont college, requests in particular “more transparency in the rules for assigning students as well as in the assignment committees […]openings of places in IME and ITEP with trained staff in sufficient numbers to support these students, an increase in the number of AESH […]a transformation of medical confidentiality into shared confidentiality in order to best meet the specific needs of a student experiencing a complicated personal situation, an increase in the number of teachers and a reduction in class numbers so that each student can be supported peacefully “.
“In middle school, around a quarter of children are subject to notifications,” says a teacher. We have 51% scholarship recipients, and the lowest social position index in the department (this tool measures the social situation of students with regard to learning. The higher the index, the more the student evolves in a family context favorable to learning, Editor’s note) and yet Clermont college is not in REP (priority education network). However, this would open up lasting resources for the establishment,” laments the teacher.
“This fact reminds us of the tragedy of February 22, 2023, when a 52-year-old Spanish teacher was stabbed by a student in the middle of class, in a high school in Saint-Jean-de-Luz. This fact, called “miscellaneous”, resonates today in our college with terrible force, especially since three years ago, another colleague from Clermont college was strangled by another student, with a profile similar,” adds the collective.
